The Rise of Otaku Chapter 67 - Enclosure Land

Chapter 67 Enclosure Land

The midnight troupe had already left the small theater, leaving only a bunch of puppets hanging on the stage. If anyone saw it at midnight, it was reasonable to be scared by it. It took a bit of work to disa.s.semble it and get it back, because it could not be thrown directly into storage s.p.a.ce. Otherwise, it would save a lot of time.

The key to the gate was borrowed from the old school gatekeeper. It was a bit surprised to Zhou Yu, that he could get the key that easily. Originally he thought that it would take a long time to explain it.

The fear of little Rat and other children only lasted for one night. On the next morning, whenever they saw people, they would tell them the ‘ghost play’ that they had seen at school last night. The way they describe it was so vivid and colorful, that it made people suspect if that really happened. Even if little Rat swore in the name of G.o.d and there was a group of witnesses as well, there were only a few people believed them. After all, this kind of thing was too unrealistic.

When they asked brother Yu to testify, but even brother Yu also didn’t help them. He just said that he did not see it. It was very annoying! However, little Rat didn’t want to give up so easily. He spent two more nights in brother Yu’s house. Every time after 12 o’clock, he would get up and check the small theater in the yard. However, not a single puppet moved.

In the end, the small theater still became a place for children to play. Although they didn’t know how to control the puppets, they still got one puppet each.

During this time, some of the children that Zhou Yu had seen during the summer vacation also returned to the village. And they still remembered Zhou Yu. The first thing they did after returning to the village was to report to Zhou Yu in his yard.

Having not seen Zhou Yu for a few months, there were even more strange things in Brother Yu’s yard. In the beautiful flower greenhouse, there was a beautiful mini village, a vegetable field that filled with vegetables, and a small theater where they could play puppet shows. What surprised them the most was that brother Yu even had an outdoor cinema.

Every night, the children in the village would invite those children who just came back from the city and did know about the outdoor cinema, to go to Brother Yu’s house and watch the animated movies with them. Although they had all seen those movies before, they still had a good time when watching them with new people.

The children that came back from the city were also amazed by the animations when they saw it for the first time. They had never seen such a good-looking animated movie in the big movie theater in the city. Brother Yu was really a very amazing person. He could always find some good things that others did not have.

In terms of Zhou Yu, who was admired by the children, was currently working in the greenhouse.

After activating “Life Is Drama” skill, and choosing the profession – the omnipotent farmer, he could finally plant The Seed Of Adventurer and The Seed Of Equipment, that had been lying in the storage s.p.a.ce for a long time. Fearing that the tragedy of the autumn vegetable seeds would appear again, all the seeds had been planted in the flower greenhouse, and carefully taken care of by Tian Niang and Uncle Guan Er.

During this time, Uncle Guan Er was almost unemployed. He could never get the harvest of the vegetable field on time, because Zhou Yu’s mother always took the vegetable without waiting for the vegetable to be fully mature. Poor Uncle Guan Er’s big machete, had not tasted the taste of vegetables for a long time. Incidentally, the brewery was temporarily suspended, and the pub was also closed. The entire business chain stopped working because of it.

Regarding this issue, Zhou Yu also gathered the villagers of Mini Luhua Village to discuss it. He felt that they should find ways to expand their living s.p.a.ce. With the continuous expansion of Mini Luhua Village, the number of venues needed in the future would continue to increase, and it was impossible to accommodate everything in a single yard. It was time to expand.

Money was not a problem. However, what reason he could give to other people? Woodlands and reservoirs had already been leased out, big vegetable greenhouses? That was too simple. What if there were venue requirements such as planting fruit trees in the future? ‘How about… simply make a large rural amus.e.m.e.nt park? Let me just enclose some lands first, and then decide what to do in the future.’

Saying it was a rural amus.e.m.e.nt park, in fact, it was only Zhou Yu’s own amus.e.m.e.nt park. As for whether there would be any customers after the completion of the project, and whether it would be profitable or not, etc… these things, Zhou Yu simply did not want to consider it at all. He did not have any ambitions to build a business empire, to begin with. So as long as he could build a paradise that was entirely for himself in the village, he would not regret it.

However, this was only an idea after all. If he really wanted to achieve it, he still needed to go through a lot of troubles. All kinds of land leasing procedures, approvals, etc… who knows how many government departments he had to visit, and how many officials he had to deal with, and these things were the things that Zhou Yu disliked the most.

If it was just some small things, he could ask Uncle Fu for help, but it was not good to trouble him for such a big project. So Zhou Yu decided to look for someone online. Maybe there were some people, who specialized in helping people applying for all kinds of doc.u.ments?

And there was indeed one. In the city, there was a consulting company called “City South Consultant”. They provided young entrepreneurs with a series of entrepreneurial services including pre-market research, business management framework, and applying all sorts of qualification doc.u.ments on behalf of the new company. For Zhou Yu this lazy worm, it was exactly the company he was looking for.

And the company also seemed to be pretty good at what they do, so Zhou Yu contacted the company.

……………………

Zhou Fu was the first person to know that Zhou Yu wanted to open a rural amus.e.m.e.nt park. No one knew where he got the information from, but when the people from the ‘City South Consultant’ came to the village, he also appeared in Zhou Yu’s home. He pulled Zhou Yu aside while having a long face and said,

“You, spoiled kid, such a big thing, why don’t you discuss with me first. Are you really planning to open an amus.e.m.e.nt park? Have you thought it through properly? No one is doing this in a hundred miles radius of the village. If you really want to do something, why don’t you do expand the greenhouse or build a vegetable greenhouse? The people in the village have knowledge and equipment, we can all help you. But why an amus.e.m.e.nt park?”

Zhou Fu really didn’t know what to say to this seemingly quiet, but actually very unstable kid. The flower greenhouse previously built, was already something out of ordinary. However, since it did cause any harm, he kind of just let it go. But now he even wanted to open an amus.e.m.e.nt park! Although it was not far from the provincial capital, could he attract the people in the provincial capital to this small village to visit the amus.e.m.e.nt park?

Couldn’t he just be like other young men?

“Uncle Fu, no problem, just trying out a small project. If it doesn’t work, I will stop. Besides, there are many vegetable greenhouses in the village, and there is no need for me to build another one.”

‘Small project? You call 1 million that you registered in the doc.u.ment a small project?’ Zhou Fu was dazed for a second. Since when did he earn so much money? However, since the kid insisted, there was no reason for him to prevent him from doing it. But he still thought that he needed to let Zhou Yu’s father Zhou Hong know about this.

However, Zhou Hong was even more unreliable. Hearing his son planned to use 1 million to build an amus.e.m.e.nt park, he wasn’t surprised at all. He just said calmly, “Lao Fu, you don’t know my son. He is very stubborn. He used to refuse to leave his room and not to go to work. We almost had a fight over this. Now that he decided to do something, I’m very happy. Even if he lost all of it, it doesn’t matter. I still can use my retirement fund.”

Zhou Fu was completely speechless now. No wonder they were father and son, they both were very odd.

In terms of the meeting with the person from the consulting company, Zhou Fu planned to stay with Zhou Yu and see if he could help him in any way. He didn’t want this kid to lose too much money in this project.

What Zhou Fu did not expect was that even the people from the consulting company were trying to persuade Zhou Yu not to start a business here. The person even introduced another village to Zhou Yu. That village was a relatively famous rural tourist attraction. And it just happened to need a rural amus.e.m.e.nt park. As long as the Zhou Yu wanted to set up his business there, not only the relevant doc.u.ments could be quickly approved, but there would also be many special benefits that were offered by the government, he could take.

Hearing what the consulting company offered, Zhou Fu immediately felt that this consulting company was reliable. They didn’t urge their customers to start their businesses straight away, so they could get their money. Moreover, normally, the success or the failure of the company had nothing to do with them. But not only did they try to stop Zhou Yu from doing something unreadable, but they also find a suitable place very quickly. It meant the company had actually done some research before coming here. It was a company that fully committed to providing very good customer service.

If Zhou Yu really set up an amus.e.m.e.nt park there, not only would he not stop him, he might also join in as well.

However, Zhou Yu refused very clearly.

The reason was very simple. It was too far.
